THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY SATURN VUE (2004) WAS REPLACED IN 2010 WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 77637 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 2010 AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM SATURN NOTIFYING OF ISSUE WITH INTELLIGENCE (VTI) TRANSMISSION AND MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING ISSUES. MY NOW SECOND TRANSMISSION IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THE FIRST TRANSMISSION HAD. THE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE HAS SAID THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I KNOW MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE NOT EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE INTELLIGENCE (VTI) TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I AM ASKING FOR GMC TO COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE NEW DEFECTED TRANSMISSION FOR MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE ESCALATED. MY EXPERIENCE WITH GMC PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICES I RECEIVE FROM JAY HAS LEFT ME VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED WITH GMC. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME FIGHT THIS ISSUE WITH GMC. *TR

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2002-2004 Saturn Vue vehicles manufactured September 11, 2001, to April 6, 2004. In the affected vehicles, it may be possible for the key to be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle to see if the key can be pulled out when the ignition is off. If it can, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and keys, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 14506. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L V6 (L66) ENGINES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE FRONT AND REAR WHEEL RIM SIZE SPECIFICATIONS ON THE TIRE/CERTIFICATION LABEL ARE NOT CORRECT. THE PRINTED WHEEL RIM DESIGNATION SPECIFIED A 16-INCH WHEEL WHEN A 17-INCH WHEEL DESIGNATION WAS REQUIRED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WHEEL RIM SIZE IS INCORRECTLY PRINTED ON A TIRE/CERTIFICATION LABEL, A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO SOLELY USES THE TIRE/CERTIFICATION LABEL FOR SERVICE INFORMATION MAY ATTEMPT TO REPLACE A DAMAGED WHEEL WITH AN INCORRECT WHEEL.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECTED LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 15, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-553-6000.
